Mr Goddard, I have to commend you on your infinite patience when dealing with those on your blog with closed minds.
As a somewhat aged person I have lived through much climate change, though I would prefer to call it cyclic weather patterns. Real science tends to show that around 6000 years ago and it is down hill from now on as temperatures go.
The only constant I have observed in my life has been the insidious propaganda from those with a cause, the techniques refined to fully encompass the observations of George Orwell. The obviously indoctrinated easy to spot on your post. It is so sad that so many have been sucked in to cause, another ism no less dangerous than those that have gone before, causing death and destruction to hundreds of millions of innocent souls. Those believers here please look to the ravings of some of your revered scientists and politicians, for they espouse a global population cull that would make Pol Pot look like a gentleman.
This is a political propaganda exercise, with the science used to indoctrinate. 10/10 anyone.
Strange but fully two thirds of a century latter from my child hood the beach is still in the same place, the odd little privately owned 150 year old bathing boxes built on the sand just above high tide. If the common belief of one eighth of an inch was correct per year, my beach and the bathing boxes would be history.
Sadly the thing I believed the scientists about was the sun, wonderfully constant for another billion years, this also is proving to be some what not true. Rather variable and tending to tantrums, after partying for a couple of decades old Sol is having a holiday. This is by far the worst news our planet could have as the interglacial is due or indeed overdue to end. Misplaced faith in AGW would best be directed to a little sun worshipping, the faith will have the same effect on the climate either way.
Well said. I’m old enough to remember Hans and Lotte Hass as well as Armand and Michaela Dennis. (Google them -in some ways the first of the environmentalists.)
Although we ‘know’ local temps. may not reflect global temps., I still find it amazing that all the long term thermometer records e.g. CET, Armagh, various US states, have trends which are as flat as the proverbial pancake.
Since 1833 we have an uninhabited island on the coast of Holland ( Rottumerplaat )which increased in size during the time from 1965 – 1985, and the decreased for ten years. Since then it increased again.
If the changes are due to sealevel variations i’d say it has been cooling the last fifteen years.
